Closing: Artists on the Bowery Part 5 at Westwood Gallery

By WestWood Galleries

May 11 - Dec 30  |  Culture

WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC presents Artists on the Bowery Part 5, a group exhibition of recent and historic paintings, works on paper, and sculpture by artists Jake Berthot, David Diao, Harmony Hammond, Louise Nevelson, Harvey Quaytman, and Carrie Yamaoka, curated by James Cavello. WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC is pleased to collaborate on the exhibition with the Betty Cuningham Gallery, Greene Naftali Gallery, Alexander Gray Associates, Pace Gallery, Van Doren Waxter, and Ulterior Gallery.

This is the fifth exhibition in a series at WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC focused on Contemporary artists who have lived and worked in the Bowery Arts District between 1960s-present. A cultural touchstone of New York City, the Bowery has been home to hundreds of artists, many of whom were the impetus of the most important art historical movements of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Abstract Expressionism, Feminist art, Hard-edge Painting, and many others.

This year’s Artists on the Bowery survey focuses on six artists who (1) brought a unique originality to the confining limitations of Minimalist and Abstract Expressionist art, and (2) created work that approaches the absence of color, by either directly using black pigments or creating illusory surfaces that feign color.
